Very nice DIY!! But like Marc mentioned, it's a bit too much for me. I guess I'll be paying you a visit soon. Is that Raj's (rkhettry23) E60?

 

dam, you have to take the panel off to get to the cig lighter cant I get the cig from the passenger side?

 

Wow! Outstanding... Though, that would take me a month and a half to do...

 

hey john, if i only want the functionality of the hid reverse w/o the switch, what part do we stop if we dont want to put the switch right now? still trying to understand the whole process... if i dont think i could do it, everybody keep an eye for the hid reverse kit in the classifieds! lol.
